This book is about the making of true crime television shows (as someone who went to film school and who loves a good true crime podcast or show, I had to read this)!

I also absolutely love this cover, I think it's so clever. Simple and effective. Truly perfection.

I did find that this read quite a bit like a textbook to me. I was really hoping that it would have a bit more of casual feel. If you struggle to read non-fiction, the audiobook is probably the much better route to read this. I should've gone audiobook.

Thanks to NetGalley for the e-ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review! My Goodreads review is up and my TikTok (Zoe_Lipman) review will be up at the end of the month with my monthly reading wrap-up.

Killer Story by Claire St. Amant offers a gripping, behind-the-scenes glimpse into the cutthroat world of true crime television. With nearly a decade of experience at 48 Hours and 60 Minutes, St. Amant masterfully recounts her pursuit of high-profile cases. This memoir doesn’t just delve into the stories themselves but exposes the relentless pressure, ethical dilemmas, and unexpected dangers journalists face to bring these cases to light. Both revealing and riveting, Killer Story is a must-read for true crime fans eager to learn what happens beyond the headlines.

Many thanks to NetGalley and BenBella Books for providing an eARC of Killer Story prior to publication.
